Echo: linux: security update to 6.1.147-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 464938

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix use-after-free in
 cifs_oplock_break A race condition can occur in cifs_oplock_break() leading to a use-after-free of the
 cinode structure when unmounting: cifs_oplock_break() _cifsFileInfo_put(cfile) cifsFileInfo_put_final()
 cifs_sb_deactive() [last ref, start releasing sb] kill_sb() kill_anon_super() generic_shutdown_super()
 evict_inodes() dispose_list() evict() destroy_inode() call_rcu(&inode->i_rcu, i_callback)
 spin_lock(&cinode->open_file_lock) <- OK [later] i_callback() cifs_free_inode() kmem_cache_free(cinode)
 spin_unlock(&cinode->open_file_lock) <- UAF cifs_done_oplock_break(cinode) <- UAF The issue occurs when
 umount has already released its reference to the superblock. When _cifsFileInfo_put() calls
 cifs_sb_deactive(), this releases the last reference, triggering the immediate cleanup of all inodes under
 RCU. However, cifs_oplock_break() continues to access the cinode after this point, resulting in use-after-
 free. Fix this by holding an extra reference to the superblock during the entire oplock break operation.
 This ensures that the superblock and its inodes remain valid until the oplock break completes.
 (CVE-2025-38527)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.147-1 or later.
